Description
Natalie's parents are taking her and three best friends on a week-long cruise for her birthday--a sail-a-bration! Sigh. It's also only been months since her boyfriend died in a tragic accident, and she wants to be anywhere but here. So she's surprised when she meets a guy on the first night and feels a connection she's never felt before. After a late-night talk on a secluded part of the ship, Natalie runs to her cabin for a change of clothes. But when she returns, he's gone without a trace. And something he said makes her think he may have jumped. . . . What pulled her to him, and what pulled him away? Where else could he go, and. . . was he ever even there?
With her signature thrilling storytelling, the author of The Leaving and The Possible dives into the story of a girl coming back from grief, and her struggle to be present in a twisting mystery with a Hitchcock-inspired twist, high stakes, and deep secrets.
